Just then!
Outside the command tent.
"Reporting to the general."
"Outside the main camp."
"A personal guard under Zhu Ying of the Daning Border Army requests an audience, stating that he bears urgent military intelligence."
Chang Mao's personal guard respectfully reported.
At this.
A strange look appeared on Chang Mao's face.
"Hahaha."
"Gentlemen, did I hear that correctly?"
"Zhu Ying has sent someone to request an audience, and he even claims to have urgent military intelligence?"
Chang Mao said mockingly.
Clearly.
Chang Mao was naturally full of distrust toward Zhu Ying.
"General."
"Let us hear him out first."
"What if General Zhu truly has urgent military intelligence to report? We must not delay military affairs." Zhang Yu spoke up.
Seeing Zhang Yu speak.
Chang Mao nodded as well and immediately said, "Let Zhu Ying's personal guard enter the camp."
Not long after.
Cao De, a General Officer among Zhu Ying's personal guards, strode into the command tent.
"Greetings, General Chang."
"By my general's order, I have come to deliver urgent military intelligence."
Holding a bamboo tube in both hands, Cao De bowed to Chang Mao.
"What urgent military intelligence could your Daning Border Army possibly have?" Chang Mao asked with little concern.
"My general led us in attacking the cities of Liaodong all the way here and discovered that the Yuan Army's forces are lacking in number. The troops defending and fighting are all recruits, with too few elite soldiers. Thus, my general has inferred that the Yuan Army intends to set an ambush at Tieling City against our army."
"Therefore, my general sent this subordinate to offer a warning, that you exercise caution."
"This is a handwritten letter from my general."
Cao De handed the bamboo tube to Chang Mao.
Chang Mao glanced at it, then waved his hand.
